Monday Again

Just a quick update, I'm not much up for writing a real post today. I just wanted to sort of answer a comment by Republican Bud from an earlier post. He seems to think that things in Iraq are getting better. And I suppose if you watched the mainstream news you would think that, because they are completely falling down in their job.

Senator: Public needs 'cold, hard facts' on Iraq
"'It's a very tenuous security situation,' [Senator] Chafee told CNN. 'I'd been there [Iraq] a year ago -- what a change.'...

Chafee said the senators were unable to travel through Baghdad's neighborhoods, visit the northern city of Mosul or take the road from the airport -- all things visitors could do last year."
I know, I know, yeah things are getting better. It is seriously a dangerous thing to keep telling the American people this when it is simply not true.
"Chafee said that when Iraqi politicians -- such as interim President Ghazi al-Yawar, who met with President Bush on Monday in Washington -- say that the situation is improving, the effect is damaging.

'We really need cold, hard facts and honesty,' Chafee said. 'The situation is tough over there.'"
EXACTLY!
